Awesome stuff dude can you post a close up of your psu cables
They look awesome!

I guess I've got nothing better to do other than this:




SATA Cables:

PCIE

 

[tomparker95]

Looks top notch that does, looking forward to seeing it all in action

 

[{SAS}TB]

Looking cracking mate

 

[fantasticCG]

F...ING Awesome loving the colours

 

[geoirv23]

Nice to see some different colours being used, looking good.

OMG.

Although the case itself will be too big for my liking (i thought the storm trooper was too big) i have always wanted to do the straight line cooling. Defo going to be an amazing build.

Nice build cant wait to see it finished,did you have to cut of the Crystal Links to fit?

 

[Deathjester]

No, I haven't had to cut any of the crystal links, although the levelling between the blocks was a bit of a pain...

Anyway, it's lunch break time... (at 3pm)
Case turned up at midday

A comparison with the stormtrooper....

Dismantling the case down to barebones:

Things started going back in pretty quickly:

A closeup of the motherboard:

Reservoirs & pumps installed:

 

[Alasdairhurst]

What size res are they?


edit. 250mm I should jsut read the top

Are there any thick reservoirs that would fit in and fill up more room? (the pump/pumps would be in the basement)

 

[Deathjester]

What size res are they?

250mm Bitspower Z-Multi

There has been a minor re-design, as I couldn't figure out the tubing to get a res in the front of the case, but I'm sure my CPU will be fine with a single 480mm rad....

Well the tubing WOULD have been fine, if I wasn't trying to get a 140mm rad in there, I also came to the conclusion that some fans pulling air into the case would be useful...

 

[Deathjester]

I'm quite happy with the dual reservoirs in the there

 

[Alasdairhurst]

I'm quite happy with the dual reservoirs in the there

I'm just thinking for my build

Question since I'm out of the house now.
Where the screw holes already there for the tube brackets?
Just seen your using the drive cages

Yeah, I used the sides of the drive cages, there are plenty of holes, but make sure you avoid the bottom half of each where the runners for the caddies go in.

I've found 2 problems with the case:

1. The screws for the PCIE slots are pretty tough to get to.

2. You can't use 90 degree sata cables in the bottom tray for each hard disk caddy, which is really annoying...

(I need to buy and sleeve 2 SATA 3 cables... grrrr....)

I have also discovered that I need 3 more fittings ARGH!!!! (But I could possibly make do with just 2!)


Ok more photos:

The Loops:

PICE Cable closeup:

With the side back on:

Remaining Tasks:

Sleeve 2 90 degree PCIE cables
Replace the 2 Monsoon fittings with Bitspower Black Sparkle
Install the Aquaero

Cable Management
Install all of the fan cables and connect to the Aquaero


Tonight:

Leak Testing (I have a second PSU, which I use for leak testing)

Please tell me you are spraying those fans?!!

 

[Deathjester]

I'm going to dye them.

But I want to run them for a while first.

Phew! With a beast rig like that, I couldnt imagine looking at those coloured fans!

+1

Didn't fancy corsair fans for the build?
Awesome build dude

 

[Deathjester]

Nah, Noctua all the way... they are great with radiators due to the focused flow.

 

[panyan]

I really like the effort put into this build

Im not a fan of the colour scheme, but everyone likes different things

Personally I would have gotten some AP15's and sprayed the blades purple and left the frames black
